"The Development Cooperation Instrument (DCI) is one of the European Union’s extremely altruistic projects, intended to provide assistance to developing countries without any conditions or ulterior interests. The lack of any utilitarian aspect to the EU’s involvement must force its institutions to target these funds much better and focus on eradicating poverty and complying with the Millennium Development Goals (MDG).
I must stress the need for greater transparency for all funds earmarked for this purpose and, more importantly, for increasing the assessments of the impact which the DCI has among the population in those countries. This is because these funds must be backed up by effective social policies implemented in developing countries. These funds must be, in the medium and long term, the ‘rod’ which the relevant peoples will use to learn to ‘fish’ and successfully become self-sufficient.
We must not forget that 2010 was the European Year for Combating Poverty and Social Exclusion. This is precisely why the Development Cooperation Instrument must continue this fight in developing countries as well, by making a significant contribution to guaranteeing a decent living for as many citizens as possible."@en1
